I also accounts for the difference on the loan . If you borrow 100,000 dollars when the dollar is 1.34 and you repay it when it is 1.28 then you have to account for the 6,000 dollar difference as a gain . I might also be out to lunch on my caculation . I arrived at that figure by dividing the 2017 foreign exchange by the 2017 sales and got 17%  and then applied that to the 2018 projected revenue. 

In your example above, I would consider that $6K to be income on an "investment" and not projectable.  Just the opposite.

It is not merely converting C$ to $US or vice versa.

It is profit made on a currency fluctuation and could just have easily been a loss.

Consequently, I believe your projected FE profit of $52.3MM in 2018 is completely erroneous and unsupportable.

Which means no dividend if debt is to be reduced and $10MM is to be sucked up by KDI. That assumes that we break even on FE, but can't we expect that (FE) to be a loss in some years?
